Audio: Yle News

The seventh episode of All Points North this week is a Brexit special that delves into the burning questions and brinkmanship of Britain’s imminent departure from the EU. Joining the show to dissect the issues are Yle’s special EU correspondent Susanna Turunen and Joel Willans, the man behind the highly popular meme factory Very Finnish Problems and its equally topical offshoot, Very Brexit Problems.

In this week's programme, Ronan Browne speaks with Brits resident in Finland and finds out exactly what Brexit means for them and their future. Our guests also provide a personal take on the issue and discuss the current state of affairs following the release of a draft transition deal that should kick in when the UK leaves the EU in March 2019.

Our question from the audience this week focused on the dos and don'ts of moving to Finland. There's plenty of information on that score here and here, but we also asked Joel and Susanna for their thoughts.
